Any matches for '77 Dt125 green paint was created by loner
Has anyone found a suitable match for the green paint used on 1977
dt125e. I ordered "Leaves Green" because that was the color name in '77. Not a match now, too bright. I have seen the same problem on youtube videos where the tank color is a few shades darker than the newly painted fenders and side covers. I found this out too late, after I had painted the side covers and fenders away from the tank.(I do try to be more selective in my stupid mistakes, but it seems that a few manage to slip by, now and again!)

Glad to get another typo out of the way. It is a 1978, sorry. I did search through all pages of the paint topics and found i other info request from before for the same color with no response. If I find it I will post the info. Thanks.

This might be too late for you now, but what I have done in the past is let the paint provider have an item with a flat surface and in the colour that I am trying to match. They can then use a spectrometer to try and mix some paint to match.

Thanks Al, it's not too late. Probably take the tank in after cleaning/before removing paint and see if they can do exactly that. All of the other surfaces have been repainted already. I will repaint 1 fender and check it against the tank color (which is what I should have done from the start. Note to self, don't be stupid.). I still have to remove rust from inside the tank also. I will post what I find out.
